The Oven Thermostat is an OEM part for GE ovens. This thermostat is a component in regulating the oven's heat, turning the heat on and off to maintain the desired temperature setting. With its precise calibration and durable construction, the oven thermostat is essential for achieving consistent cooking outcomes and preventing overheating, which could lead to burnt or undercooked food.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Thermostat include:
- The oven not reaching the set temperature

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
